Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 65 Finding Wealth in Danger

"Are we going to eat it raw? I heard that snakes have a lot of parasites." Gan Xiaoning felt a little scared when he saw the bloody snake meat.

"You still want to use open flames in the wild? The brothers in the reconnaissance camp and Old A will soon find out. Once you light the open flame, they will surround this place in just a few minutes." Chen Jiang explained to him patiently.

"Gan Xiaoning, the parasites are okay. We have strong stomach acid in our bodies and can digest anything." Wu Liuyi fooled him kindly while putting the remaining piece into his mouth.

"I say, you guys, is it worth risking your lives like this?"

Gan Xiaoning was a little confused.

Chengcai smiled slightly, then picked up the next piece of snake meat, "Old A only wants 4 people, we have 7 people here, and I will definitely be one of the 4 people."

After saying that, he swallowed again.

"Is it really that serious? Do you really want to get into Old A?"

"You don't want to? Why don't you come here?" A soldier from another company supported his comrade and squeezed over to eat snake meat.

"Gan Xiaoning! Stop wasting time and come here to eat. If you don't eat this, you won't have the strength to last until the day after tomorrow." Wu Liuyi urged him angrily.

"Forget it, I'll keep my style and give you the snake meat." Gan Xiaoning really couldn't bear to eat such disgusting snake meat raw.

Seeing that he didn't want to eat, Chen Jiang stopped forcing him. He thought he had done his best and he was not anyone's babysitter.

Chengcai came over and used a dagger to pick up a piece of snake meat that originally belonged to Gan Xiaoning.
"If you don't eat it, you will be eliminated. So, this isn't snake meat, it's an opportunity! Chen Jiang, can you give me a piece?"

"Eat! We are all from the Seventh Company, so don't be polite." Chen Jiang generously spread out his free left hand.

A group of people started to chew the snake meat. Except for Gan Xiaoning, everyone completed the eating task. But a new problem arose. Their water bottles were empty. Eating such fishy snake meat without replenishing water would only make them feel nauseous. The key point was that dehydration would be very dangerous.

"There is a small pond on the way here this afternoon. How about we go there and get some water?" Chengcai suggested.

But Chen Jiang quickly rejected this suggestion, "We can't go back, it's too exhausting. Let's sleep for a night. When we go forward tomorrow morning, we can check if there is any water source."

"Chengcai, I still have some water here, take a sip!" Xu Sanduo handed over his military water bottle. Everyone looked at the water bottle with hot eyes again, and Gan Xiaoning couldn't help licking his cracked lips.

"Can I have a drink?"

Gan Xiaoning really couldn't stand it anymore. He had already drunk up all the water in his own bottle.

After running for such a long time, everyone sweats a lot, so replenishing water is particularly important.

"Here!" Xu Sanduo was very generous.

"Drink it! Go ahead and drink it! That's what Xu Sanduo saved from his teeth. It's not water, it's hope, the hope of promotion! I want to see if you can swallow it."

Hearing Wu Liuyi's words, Gan Xiaoning's hand holding the kettle stopped mid-air and he laughed awkwardly, "Hey, how could I drink his? I was just joking. Sanduo, keep the water in your kettle for yourself! I'm confident in you, you'll definitely advance!"

"Chengcai, here!"

Seeing that Gan Xiaoning didn't want it, Xu Sanduo decided to share some of the water he had left with Chengcai.

Chengcai smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm not thirsty! Sandai, you must be a camel. Look at us, which one of us still has water in his kettle? You're the only one who can endure this."

Chen Jiang's water bottle was practically empty. After a long, high-speed run, one must drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, especially with 30kg of gear on their backs. "Let's move forward! I think there's a water source to the northeast!"

Although Chen Jiang's perception distance was only about 30 meters, he could roughly judge the vague situation around him. By concentrating on searching, he found that there seemed to be a forest in the northeast direction, where there should be a water source.

"Feelings? Deputy, please spare me. I'm hungry and thirsty now and really can't walk anymore. What if there's no water there? I won't even have a place to sleep at night."

Gan Xiaoning really begged for mercy. If he had known that this selection was so difficult, he would never have been happy to come.

"Are you sure it's there?"

Wu Liuyi asked seriously.

Although he ate some snake meat and recovered some strength, unnecessary waste of strength is very dangerous.

"I feel like it should be there. Of course, you don't have to go there!" Chen Jiang took his Type 81 rifle, observed the surrounding environment, and decisively walked out of the depression.

"I believe in Chen Jiang!" Xu Sanduo followed closely, then Chengcai and Wu Liuyi.

The two comrades from the other company looked at each other and followed suit.

I'd die of thirst if I stayed, so I might as well go out and give it a try.

Seeing that everyone had left, Gan Xiaoning could only bite the bullet and follow, "Hey, don't be so fast, wait for me."

"Speak softly, are you afraid that the people in the reconnaissance camp can't hear you?" Wu Liuyi scolded in a low voice.

Chen Jiang led the way in front, and the other six followed closely behind, forming a tactical team. After crossing a small hill, it was already completely dark.

But everyone was still attracted by the water source in front.

It stands to reason that it should not be visible under this visibility, but the situation is different now.

There were actually more than a dozen "enemies" setting up camp and lighting a bonfire by the small pond.

"They are all Old A." Chengcai saw through the scope and coldly reported the enemy situation he saw.

"Deputy squad leader, you are amazing. There really is a pond, but it is full of Old A's people. How can we drink water?" Gan Xiaoning was almost going crazy wanting to drink water.

"There are more than a dozen old As, and we only have seven people. One of them is very weak. We can't win in a head-on fight." Wu Liuyi knew very well how powerful these old As were. If Chen Jiang hadn't reminded him during the exercise, he would have probably been taken care of by them.

"Deputy Captain Wu is right. They are in this position. There is a high probability that they have snipers on the two commanding heights in the distance. A rash attack would be disastrous." Chengcai is a sniper, so he is naturally familiar with this set of combat habits.

"What should I do? Are I going to die of thirst? I think these damned old A's must have some delicious food on them, like bread or sausages. I'm not picky about food, I want them all!"

Everyone was amused by Gan Xiaoning, the foodie.

Chen Jiang's eyesight is much better than everyone else's, and he also agrees with Chengcai's judgment. There are two sniper positions, and there is an 80% chance that they are occupied. A head-on fight will definitely not work, and they must come up with a foolproof plan.

"Do you think this will work?" Chen Jiang thought about it for a moment, and an extremely bold idea came into being.
